I am sorry for cutting across Dr. McGann, but last week I raised with the Department the issue of people with language skills who were already in Ireland. I know this from my own constituency. All they need is a small amount of training in the additional skills they would need, but no one seems to be considering this space. Instead, language skills are placed on the critical skills list and companies are not looking to people who may have an interest in some of these jobs, particularly in technology where they could get training in Ireland. No one seems to be examining the list or pushing to have it examined.
